    Hi everyone,

    After discovering that I needed to install the Incremental Content Plugin on my client's website, I'm still left with a few questions.

    Firstly, when members are logged in they see their list of content (which in our case is delivered weekly) but the link takes them to the folder. What I'd like to do is send them to the class page so they can download the pdf and resources.

    My question is: how do I change the link? It seems to only allow me to link to the folder and not a HTML page within the folder.

    Any help is appreciated!

    Simplest way is to put a redirect in the folder, moving them automatically to the content page:

    <?php
    $redirect= "http://www.yoursite.com/?p=1";
    header("Location: $redirect");
    ?>

    Thanks David!

    Next question, what if I want to pull the list of links through to my client's website which happens to be managed by Joomla?

    Thanks so much!

    read the instructions in the readme.txt file that comes with incremental content plugin - an example on how to embed links into any php page is there...

    Joomla eats up the amember session data so you wont be able to use the code provided.

    Next option is to create a new PHP using the same template design and the amember session info as Miso pointed out.

    PS- For others -I have gotten wordpress to use incremental content.

    I figured out how to use wordpress/hidepost to allow access to protected content based on when amember releases it.
